<p>I'm pre-med btw and in the honors research program of my school</p>
<p>16 credits total
4: General chemistry w/ lab
4: Intro to biology w/ lab
3: Intro to psychology
3: English
2: Research class/ seminar of honors program</p>
<p>If you can guess, how rigorous is my schedule? Will I have a lot of time in my hands to adjust to college, etc.?</p>
<p>Also, on mondays and wednesdays, I have like almost 6 hrs each worth of classes while on tuesdays and thurdays i have like 1 and a half hrs...friday i have like 30 mins..is this a bad thing??</p>
<p>It’s a little tougher than most, but that’s because you’re ambitious! Which is good by the way, many more people should be. The hardest will be juggling Chem and Bio at the same time, those labs are long plus you have to be prepared to do a lot of studying(especially if you aren’t a science genius) outside of class. If you’re good at English and at writing essays, that will be a breeze for you. If not, that will make your workload a little tougher and the seminar should be an easy A for you. As for the timing, I think it’s great that you made T/Th your relief days because you’ll need them to study. I wouldn’t say you’ll have a lot of time on your hands, but you’ll be able to fit in a social life and one or two clubs. However, it’s only your FIRST semester so maybe you should rethink doing two sciences at once? Also, don’t you need a math class in there? Other than that, 16 credits is what I consider to be ideal. :)</p>
<p>I have 8 hrs of classes (10:15-5:45) Tu/Th and none M/W/F. I rather have 2 bad days, and 5 off days. I have scaled back the number of days I have class every year, and 3 and 4 day weekends are great: I get much more done when I don’t have class. </p>
<p>I never took a science class at my school, so I don’t know how hard they are. </p>
<p>Try and ask upperclassmen how hard those classes are. Your school may have a class of 2014 (?) group, and upperclassmen start threads such as “Any Questions.” People at your school probably have a better idea as to how hard classes are, because they differ per school.</p>
<p>I think you should choose between biology or chemistry - not both. Those classes will require a lot of your time because you have to attend the labs and compete the homework and reading assignments. I highly suggest you add political science or history inside of those classes because you need a balanced schedule.</p>
<p>OT: Tiff90 that’s a sexy schedule… I agree; it’s better to have 2 hard days because the trade off is 5 days off. </p>
<p>Back OT: It seems doable but obviously you have to realize that there will be lots of studying involved. It seems like you could handle it though so go for it!</p>
